get involved in a church, take an couple online classes.
If you have a babysitter:
voluneteer (make it something that you are very passionant about)
Get a part time job (even if you're flipping burgers a couple of nights a week you'll be meeting new people)
Study something you love or have always wanted to try (take a yoga class, learn to knitt, take a language course)
Find other mothers in your area in your situation and scheule "play dates" where your kids can have fun together and you mothers can hang out.

Make goals to focus on and work hard on. Like if you want to get into shape and loose weight or get toned. Make it work (even with kids) that you suceed that goal before he gets home. It gives you something to work on and look forward to. To accomplish a personal goal while he is gone....that would make it a positive thing coming from a hard thing.

You should be able to find support groups on the base where he is stationed, and it will be good for you all. I wish to thank you and your children for the sacrifices that you are about to embark on as a military family, and also thank your husband for his service to our country. As a former active duty Marine, I wish to send a great big "Semper Fi" to you all.

There must be other military wives that are in a similar situation as you. Form a social group with the other ladies.

with two kids and one soon to join, you still worried about how to pass time?! Jokes apart, take a course on something that you always wanted to learn.

Go to church or buy a vibrator, it's your choice.
